AfBAA has launched the first phase of a continent-wide study to map African business aviation. Seefeld Group will run the research from Kigali, using a data-first approach that targets fleet composition, economic impact, maintenance trends and media perception across business jets, turboprops, helicopters and UAVs.
The project is designed to replace anecdote with a dataset operators, policymakers and investors can use for planning and advocacy. Initial findings will be presented at Aviation Africa in Nairobi on 9 to 10 September 2026. The next benchmark for the sector is now data, not estimates.
